Rare Disease Day is a globally-coordinated movement observed every year on 28 February (or 29 in leap years)—the rarest day of the year on rare diseases, working towards equity in social opportunity, healthcare, and access to diagnosis and therapies for people living with a rare disease, their families and caregivers.
Key Statistics:
Rare disease currently affects 5% of the world’s population
That’s equivalent to the population of the world’s third-largest country.
There are 6000+ identified rare diseases.
